#SOTD: 6/10/2018 - “Brrrrrr” Pre: Shower Brush: @turtleship_shave_co “Admiral” Synthetic Soap: @phoenix_shaving “Cane!” in frozen travel shave scuttle Razor: @leafshave Leaf Razor w/ 2 @personnablades Lab Blue Post: @phoenix_shaving “Cane!” Aftershave splash I hadn’t shaven for a few days and this was a very needed break from the heat and hard work of the week. I used the travel scuttle that I’d filled partially with water and put in the freezer a few days ago. Made for a very calming, cooling experience. And Cane smells fantastic, of course! #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshaveloyalists #phoenixshaving #cane #peppermint #barbershop #lesfshave #turtleshipshaveco #baldandbearded #shavedhead #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 6/6/2018 - “House Warming” Pre: Hot shower Brush: Semogue 620 Boar Soap: @soapcommander “Honor” Razor: @blacklandrazors “Sabre” Post: @wcshaving “Gatsby” Aftershave splash Things have been rather crazy around the Clean Shaver homestead since we’ve been in the process of moving for the past week or so. This is my Shave from my first night in our new house. It feels a bit surreal, and we’re nowhere near finished with what needs to be done, but we’ll get there. #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshaveloyalists #soapcommander #honor #semogue620 #shavingbrush #blacklandrazors #sabresingleedge #westcoastshaving #gatsby #headshave #shavedhead #baldandbearded #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 6/3/2018 - “Too Long” Pre: Hot shower Brush: @thecleanshaver Cedar Heirloom 26mm 2-band badger Soap: @soapcommander “Intuition” in @phoenix_shaving travel scuttle Razor: @blacklandrazors “Dart” w/ Personna Lab Blue blade on a @wcshaving BR47 handle Post: @soapcommander “Intuition” aftershave balm (not pictured) & @captainschoiceproducts “Venture” aftershave A fine shave after several days of no shaving because we’re in the process of moving. Still staying at my parents’ home while we get a few last touches in place. Hopefully we’ll be in by mid-week (provided I can get everything done). #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshaveloyalists #headshave #shavedhead #baldandbearded #soapcommander #phoenixshaving #blacklandrazors #dart #catpainschoice

Well that’s not what you want to see after your shave. No wonder one side was a bit rough! #wetshaving #derazor #brokenblade

#SOTD: 5/23/2018 - “Phoenix” Pre: Hot shower Brush: @thecleanshaver Cocobolo Custom w/ @apshaveco 24mm SynBad knot Soap: @phoenix_shaving “Sun Down” Razor: 1920 Gillette Single Ring OC Post: @phoenix_shaving “Sun Down” splash This was a very welcome way to wake up this morning. It’s a fantastic classic scent that wreaks of manhood. I decided on the OC this morning because I’d recently sunburned my head and it’s starting to peel a bit. This helped tremendously without getting clogged up. A very enjoyable shave. #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshaveloyalists #phoenixshaving #sundown #derazor #headshave #shavedhead #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 5/21/2018 - “Erg Fijn” Pre: Hot shower Brush: @thecleanshaver Cocobolo custom w/ @apshaveco 24mm SynBad knot Soap: @westofolympia “Barbershop” Razor: @hone_shaving Stainless Prototype Post: Hai Karate vintage aftershave I’m sending this razor back so it can be a production model, and I had to get ONE MORE shave in before I did. It was probably the best yet. Super smooth and efficient. I’m very excited to see it come to market. Hopefully it won’t take too long. As for the rest of it, this soap never disappoints. It smells great and delivers plenty of cushion and comfort. The brush is quickly becoming a favorite, though if I’m honest, I wish I would have set the knot 1-2mm lower to give it just a hair more backbone, but it’s still very good. And, Hai Karate never lets me down. #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshaveloyalists #shavelikeaman #baldandbearded #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 5/19/2018 - “#NoahShave” Pre: Hot shower Brush: @thecleanshaver Cocobolo custom w/ 24mm @apshaveco SynBad knot Razor: @blacklandrazors Blackbird Soap: @catiesbubbles “Berry Good Noah” Post: @catiesbubbles “Berry Good Noah” aftershave and EdP Been so busy today that I’m finally getting around to posting. What an awesome shave. This fragrance will always hold a special place in my heart. I loved having a part in its development. Because we were so busy this morning, I shaved in the shower - without a mirror. That was an interesting experience. But what a great way to start the day. THANK YOU to everyone who supported our fundraiser this year. Don’t forget to make a donation to enter the raffle coming at the end of the month. TONS of prizes to be had. #BeSmooth, #shaveitup, and #pwssucks. #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 5/18/2018 - “Closing” Pre: Hot shower Brush: @thecleanshaver Cocobolo Custom w/ 24mm @apshaveco SynBad knot Soap: @phoenix_shaving Crown King “First Due” Razor: @blacklandrazors “Dart” prototype Post: @phoenix_shaving “First Due” aftershave An excellent 1-pass shave all around to get me ready for the day. I recently got cast in a production of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and I’ve been asked to grow out my beard again, so here it goes! I also needed to get in another shave with the Dart before I hand it off. Excellent all around. #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshave #wetshaveloyalists #shaving #derazor #blacklandrazors #blacklanddart #firstdue #phoenixshaving #shavedhead #headshave #baldandbearded #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 5/16/2018 - “Just for Me” Pre: Hot shower Brush: @thecleanshaver Cocobolo Custom w/ 24mm @apshaveco SynBad knot Razor: @hone_shaving Stainless Prototype Soap: @soapcommander “Intuition” Post: @soapcommander “Intuition” Aftershave Balm It was time for me to make a brush for myself again, and I’ve been wanting a cocobolo brush for myself since I started working with the wood. I’m very pleased with how it turned out. As for the SynBad Knot, I think it still needs to break in a bit, but a good combination of softness and backbone. Whipped up a great, quick lather. Used this shave to get ready for my first day riding my bike to work this year. Felt great, though my legs feel like jelly. #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshavingloyalists #soapcommander #intuition #apshaveco #apshavecosyntheticknots #honeshaving #headshave #shavedhead #baldandbearded #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver

I finally turned another bit of #cocobolo. And guess who it’s for. Me!! That’s who! It will be getting a new #synbad knot from @apshaveco once it’s finished. I’m finally keeping one for myself. #shavingbrush #woodturning #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 5/13/2018 - “Mother of a Shave” Pre: Hot shower Brush: Scott Pavkovich “Ghost Trails” 3-band Silvertip Soap: @whollykaw “Monaco Royale” Razors: @blacklandrazors Blackbird and Dart w/ @personnablades Lab Blue Post: @soapcommander “Integrity” Aftershave balm & “Fougere Royale” EdP from @houbigant_paris What a wonderful shave today! I got the Blackbird back in the den and it came along with some Wholly Kaw, which I’ve never tried (Thanks, @jakemaranto15!). I decided to do an apples to apples comparison between the Blackbird and the Dart. Both are incredibly smooth shavers and very well put together. If I were to draw a comparison, here’s what it would be. Both have some great blade feel. On a 1-10 scale, I’d put the Blackbird at an 8 for amount of blade felt, and the Dart at around 6-6.5. The Dart definitely feels less “angled” than the Blackbird, which is probably more of a preference thing. Another interesting feature is that with the Dart, the safety bar extends so far out to the ends of the razor that it allows an incredible amount of flow-through. I felt like I could just keep shaving forever without having to rinse it. It’s enough that it could encourage me to develop some bad habits. 😜 Both of these razors are incredibly well put together and I’m VERY glad I got to try out the Dart. I’ll definitely be picking one up. Now it will be on to the next guy! #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshaveloyalists #whollykaw #monacoroyale #blacklandrazors #blackbird #dart #stainlesssteel #derazor #headshave #shavedhead #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver

#SOTD: 3/6/2018 - “Ultra Slick” Pre: Hot shower Brush: @thecleanshaver Alder 24mm synthetic Soap: @pacificshaving “Ultra Slick Shave Stick” Razor: @rockwellrazors 6s (R2 plate) Post: LaToja Classic aftershave lotion My first time trying a Pacific Shaving Company product and I must say I’m impressed. Did a #facebooklive shave on my page last night and got some great results once I dialed in the water-soap ratio. The shave stick is easy to use and, as the name indicates, very slick. I’ll look forward to using it again! #wetshaving #shaving #pacificshavingcompany #shavestick #rockwell6s #headshave #shavedhead #baldandbearded #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver
